Run/walk as ONE community for RCS students!

Join us for a one-mile fun run, followed by a timed 5K, around the beautiful Paint Creek Trail and City of Rochester. The race begins and ends in the parking lot of our presenting sponsor, Chief Financial Credit Union. This event has become an annual treasured tradition and principal fundraiser that brings together more than 1,300 participants to celebrate fitness and family and enhance educational experiences of all RCS students!

Everyone can choose between the 5K or one-mile color fun run or participate in both for the same price! Come early or stay afterwards, for raffles, awards, music, face painting, photo ops, and meet the sponsors!
